Before the relay finals, our athletes held the race after commemorating the victims of Itaewon in group silence.
Captain Park Ji-won, Lee Jun-seo, Hong Kyung-wan, and Lim Yong-jin participated in the competition and started out in the lead and maintained their lead until the end.
With six laps left, after Olympic champion Canada slipped trying to overtake us, Park Ji-won, the last parking lot, widened the gap and crossed the finish line first.
Although he was evaluated as weak due to the lack of major Olympic athletes such as Hwang Dae-heon, he climbed to the top lightly from the first competition.
Park Ji-won emerged as an ace by winning three gold medals in the 1,500m and mixed relay.
